MFMII Kinder Choir Director - Ashwini Konambi
Ashwini holds an MBA degree in Marketing from India and worked in the Banking sector before moving to the US. She has been a Docent with MFMII for the past 4 years at Niles Elementary and also MFMII's Recruitment Coordinator. She wanted to be a part of her son’s school volunteering and music was a perfect choice.
Music has always been part of her life. She learned classical carnatic Indian music when she was in high school and took part in many competitions back in school and college days.
She also loves dancing. She's been working as a Bollywood Dance Instructor for the past 4 years at Riar Academy of Performing Arts here in the bay area. Along with that she really enjoys traveling, gardening, hiking and baking is another passion - she does take orders and makes custom cakes for any occasions. Right now she is learning Kathak (Indian classical dance) and also guitar with her son. Music bonds them together. She is looking forward to starting the new MFMII kinder choir.
